Mapping Media to the Curriculum / Common Core
Digital literacy today means much more than searching the Internet and using Microsoft Office. To be digitally literate, teachers as well as students need to be able to create and share online a variety of different multimedia products. These media products can be “mapped” to your curriculum, and if you’re in a Common Core state in the United States, to the Common Core State Standards. 5 Photo Stories, Narrated Slideshows, Screencasts, Quick Edit Videos, and eBooks are a few of the media products learners should be able to create and safely share online. In this session, we’ll view different examples of student media products and learn about tools and strategies for helping teachers become digitally literate as “media mappers.” Learn more and access session resources on maps.playingwithmedia.com.

21. “As for enhanced efficiency in learning and teaching,
there have been no advances (measured by higher
academic achievement of urban, suburban, or rural
students) over the last decade that can be confidently
attributed to broader access to computers. No
surprise here, as the debate over whether new
technologies have increased overall American
economic productivity also has had no clear answers.
The link between test score improvements and
computer availability and use is even more contested.”

Classroom. Harvard University Press. 2003. ISBN: 0674011090. pages

23. “…the billions schools have spent on computers have
had little effect on how teachers and students learn…
The reason for this disappointing result is that the way
schools have employed computers has been perfectly
predictable, perfectly logical– and perfectly wrong. As we
show in this chapter, schools have crammed them into
classrooms to sustain and marginally improve the way
they already teach and run their schools, just as most
organizations do when they attempt to implement
innovations, including computers. Using computers this
way will never allow schools to migrate to a student-
centric classroom.”

Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns. McGraw Hill.

35. ...when assigning a project, teachers look for
mastery of content and allow students to take
ownership of how they present that content. A
teacher may ask students to demonstrate their
knowledge of photosynthesis, but rather than
give them a specific means of doing so, will allow
the students to use any available resources to do
so. This not only gets the students innovating
more as they navigate through this task, but
more importantly makes each student’s
experience unique and gives them ownership
over the product they produce. Some students 15 March
may make posters, some a voicethread, some a 2012
powerpoint or prezi, but this should be no
problem for the educator as they are assessing
on mastery learning objectives and not actual
means of presenting them.

69. The Fire
There was a fire ban that year
But the carless campers left
Leaving smoldering remains behind
The fire that ate the forest
Wind whispered wordlessly in the trees
The fire was given new life
Like a new small heartbeat
The fire that ate the forest
Tuesday, August 14, 12
70. ...continued...
The fire lit the dry grass
It was gathering in strength
Like a lion preparing to strike
The fire that ate the forest
The fire now reached the trees
It was a wild beast let free
Grey smoke billowed up to the sky
The fire that ate the forest
